Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are ‘not going to engage’ with the Duchess of Sussex’s father despite his outbursts claiming he has been ‘cut off’ by the couple.

In recent weeks Thomas Markle has compared the royals to Scientologists and even gone as far as to claim Meghan would be better off ‘if I was dead’.

The newlyweds, who are said to be waiting for the 74 year old to approach them in a ‘respectful manner’, will not try to ‘set the record straight’, reports the Sunday Times.

Meghan has not spoken to the former lighting director since shortly after her wedding in May when Prince Harry, 33, allegedly berated the retiree for staging a series of fake photos with a Los Angeles-based paparazzi photographer.

The duchess is believed to be reluctant to talk to her father in case he leaks anything to the press. Earlier this month he gave his ‘final interview’ with the Mail On Sunday – before talking to the Sun on Sunday a day later.

A source told the Sunday Times: ‘Meghan doesn’t think it’s a fair game between her father and the media so she’s not going to engage in it or instruct anyone on her behalf to set the record straight.

‘There have always been fears over his vulnerability. Now he’s got himself into a cycle of talking publicly. It’s very sad.’

Prince Charles is said to be sympathetic towards Meghan’s difficult situation, but a source has claimed the Queen will be ‘rolling her eyes’ over the state of affairs.

Thomas Markle’s repeated interviews with the press – including a number of statements to gossip websites in the run up to the wedding in Windsor – have been a sore spot for the couple.

‘The only reason Meghan hasn’t spoken to her father yet is because she’s yet to hear from him in a respectful manner,’ a source told DailyMail.com earlier this week.

‘Thomas is speaking to the press more than he’s reached out and spoken to his own daughter.’
